beeves

“The Navy captured a rebel ship off the coast of New Haven, filled with sheep and beeves.”

With three employees, they can process about 10 beeves and 10 hogs every week.

But if you raid the beeves, I see destruction for ship and crew.

He described it as “a few hundred acres of dirt, some clusters of old barns and outbuildings… a few beeves and hogs or a flock of sheep.”

This was, indeed, a prodigious pot that could boil four-and-twenty quadrupeds of the sort, for Ireland was always famous for its large pigs and beeves.
